My son told me about baseballcardpedia. I remember reading about the red, orange gold and green somewhere.
Thanks! I'll do more research!!

Pick a popular rookie and just look at the variations of the issue in the pop report.

What do they call the Bowman's that appear before other RCs? The example I often see is Joey Votto, who's Bowman card pre-dates his next RC by something absurd like 5-6 years.

His 2002/2003 Topps T-206 card doesn't count?

Not sure how I missed that one...but yes, I'd say that counts. Odd that he then doesn't have another major league card until 2006.
